This one-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers a compact, move-in-ready home for a buyer seeking an affordable entry into Birmingham. The internal space is well presented with double glazing, gas central heating and a bright kitchen, making day-to-day living straightforward. The long lease provides tenure security but note the property is leasehold.
Externally the building is a 1970s/1980s brick terrace style with a small parking space and alley access. The communal exterior and garden areas are overgrown and will need maintenance; buyers should allow for some external upkeep or communal works. The property sits among green surroundings with nearby play areas, sports facilities and several primary and secondary schools including highly rated selective schools within reach.
Important practical points: the area is a very deprived, hard-pressed neighbourhood with above-average crime levels and a medium flood risk—factors that should be considered when assessing safety and insurance costs. Broadband and mobile signal are good and council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
This maisonette suits a first-time buyer or single professional wanting a low-maintenance, well-located home with renovation potential to add value. Investors should weigh the local area indicators carefully. A viewing will confirm the internal condition and the scale of any external maintenance required.
